Good Week, Good Maintenance!

Last Week- 175.8
This Week- 175.8
_____________
Total lost- 0.0

At first I was sad. I considered skipping breakfast and weighing myself again later in the morning. But quickly I realized that that was a really dumb idea. So I didn't lose any weight this week, that is Okay. I had a great week. I ate apple pie, I ate starchy vegetables, I ate stir fry, twice, once with yummy, yummy, yummy, peanut sauce. I made it through another menstrual cycle and I didn't drink chocolate syrup strait from the bottle, I thought about it, more than once, but I didn't do it! I ran a 5k and I ate green eggs and ham. I ate pancakes- twice! And I maintained! I think that is pretty good. I have learned a few things from watching the Biggest Loser- one of them is that you can't expect to have great results every week, even when you put in the same effort, sometimes you have an off week. A great off week is one where you don't gain. I had a great off week. I also gave myself until my birthday to weigh less than Ken and I have plenty of time. So, I am not sad anymore. I own my maintenance!

Wonder of Wonders!

Last Week- 177.6
This Week- 175.8
_______________
Total Lost- -1.8

Wonder of Wonder, Miracle of Miracles! Why you ask, am I so excited about 1.8 pounds lost? Well you see I went to the 4th annual Wang Family Chinese New Year party on Saturday and I kind of ate enough food to feed my family for a couple of days. So I was a little worried, but I also knew that I intended to continue my workouts and eat just a little bit better (I had anti cancer soup for lunch for a few days) and look what happened! I am SO HAPPY with this! We are getting close to 170, maybe by my birthday I will have smashed that wall down too.

Egg Whites

Last week- 178.6
This week- 177.6
________________
Total Lost- 1 Pound!

I guess those Egg White Omelets I have been eating for breakfast are working. I am happy with this weeks weight loss. Yes it would be nice to loose 4 or 5 or 10 pounds a week, but I think slow steady weight-loss is what is going to be the most beneficial for me. Slow and steady wins the race!

Hooray!

Last week- 180.2
This week- 178.6
_____________
Total Lost- 1.6 pounds

That is right, 180+ is a thing of the past. I may visit it for brief periods of time during future pregnancies, but it will not be a constant companion on my scale. I am pretty darn happy about that. Next goal- discover what the 160's feel like! I bet they feel good.
